This is illegal, and I do not expect the newspaper to agree to publish it at all.

Can I approach the newspaper and ask on what basis are the news published?

What legal action can I take against my ex-employer and newspaper?

They can only warn that you have left them.

Only if you are dealing with an audience or clients, they warn that you have not become their representative without offending you.

But can they do it after 13 months of leaving the company?

Is there any time frame as per the UAE labor law?
